11/29: Sockness takes his ball and goes home - Tards out on Chris and refuses him permission to use his lore in the card game

It’s possible, they both love attention.

Those shows generally take existing small claims cases and move them to arbitration in the form of getting yelled at by some personality in a black robe on a TV set (and even then they just pay out 'judgements' from the show itself). They don't do copyright\trademark and I think they avoid literal retards.

Not gonna lie, if some producer went against the grain and started up Lolcow Court, I'd watch.

Heav'n has no Rage, like Love to Hatred turn'd, Nor Hell a Fury, like an Autist scorn'd.

All's fair in love & microcephaly.

The real legal system isn't going to give a damn about a slap fight between two tugboat-tards, but I'd love to see this play out on one of those shitty tv judge shows.

Even small copyright claims, if you can prove them valid, you can get a court to issue a ruling at least forcing the offender to quit violating your copyright. Getting a payout, on the other hand, is much more difficult and usually depends on how much profit they made off of your stuff, as well as how much the court cares.

Alpha tard Chris could pull a "Slaweel Ryam", change a letter from the names or put them backwards, claim that they were always actually called like that, and call it a day. Cue Beta tard Cumsock throwing a tantrum.

Ssenkcos Cobaj will be a new villain.

 

[Jewelsmakerguy]

If things turn out horribly, would Chris say that Sockbitch would be among the casualties of the merge?

Depending on how Chris is sending these out, Sockness might not have any realistic recourse. Companies roll over for copyright complaints everyday. So if when someone orders a deck, Chris goes to the printer's website, puts in an order and has it sent directly to the person's house, then Sockness knows he can just go complain to the printer.

But if Chris has it printed and sent to his house, and then mails it out from his house, then all Sockness can do is screech at Chris. In that case, Sockness would have to actually find a lawyer, pay them a retainer, and actually pursue this in court. He can't afford that.

Even so, it would be a real treat for Chris to get sued by Sockness, on top of all his other stints with the law.

At the very least it will be better than nothing.

 

[Law-Talking Guy]

I want a lawsuit to actually be filed, just to see how far Chris's defense of "my experience cannot be copyrighted" can take it.

It is my deepest wish to see Chris be involved in an actual intellectual property case. It won't happen, obviously, but I would love to see it.

I would settle for Chris sitting on a jury of some sort. I don't know what Virginia's voir dire process is like in terms of procedural law, but I am willing to bet that they would try to strike him however they could.

Why would an obese grown man wearing a dress and a cartoon characters tiara be a problem in a jury trial? I'm sure his goddess powers will help get right to the truth of the case!

Don't forget the medallion.

He'd probably hand out cards that said: Christine Weston Chandler Sonichu Tracey. CPU Goddess & Private Gumshoe.

 

[Mr. Manchester]

They should just rent out a dumpster and hold cwcville court there.

"Do you swaer on the medallion to tell the truth and only the true and honest?"

This is so fucking stupid and gay.

You do know what forum you're on, right? You could write that as the header to every page.

Some more than others for sure.

Sock would likely hate the idea of fair use if he knew about it.

Also one can't copyright short phrases or names.

I wish everyone had N. Korea's copyright laws. Meaning, they could throw you in jail and starve you for being retarded and pretending to have talent.

But then we wouldn't have had years of free entertainment when Chris was a lolcow and not a sadcow.

 

[ToroidalBoat]

The explosive REEEing from lolcows if copyright was abolished would be hilarious.
